I left on September 25th to go spend a few days with Trevor, Paige and Piper in Athens and had a great time visiting. On the 27th, Paige, Piper and I boarded a plane in Atlanta and flew to Memphis where Anne and the boys picked us up. We had lunch at a fun, local restaurant called 'Hueys' and then zipped home to Little Rock, a few hours away. We spent a whirlwind few days doing all kinds of fun Fall activities like the Fall party at Gene and Anne's church, bonfire and hayrides at friends of Anne and Gene's, and then, finally, Boo in the Zoo...which was pretty spectacular for children. 5 days went by so fast and, as usual, I hated to say goodbye to the boys and their mom and dad. We flew back to Atlanta where Trevor picked us up, I said goodbye to them and drove on home to Columbia. Fear not, my sad little heart...only 3 weeks away from more hugs and kisses from the four greatest grandchildren on the planet.
